OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 973 and we're going to multiply it by 6, which means we add 973 to itself 6 times.
Step 1: 0 + 973 = 973
Step 2: 973 + 973 = 1946
Step 3: 1946 + 973 = 2919
Step 4: 2919 + 973 = 3892
Step 5: 3892 + 973 = 4865
Step 6: 4865 + 973 = 5838

So, 973*6 = 5838
